I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story

---Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie

Vimeo--as the YT presentations are garbage.

He was 22 when he wrote and performed this....... My personal poet laureate.

This was truly amazing, I listened in awe. Truly indescribable my friend, what a tremendous tribute to such an inspiring man. 💓

@sensualbeauty1 I'me never one at a loss for words..but this can leave me speechless. For a young man 22 years old to write this and recite it as he did is awe-inspiring! Men and women 30 years older cannot tell a tale that well!

In my reply top V I went a bit in-depth about this.

When the folk revival of the 1960's occurred that is when I discovered Woody. A voice that had not recorded for 15 years was alive and vital again-and has remained so ever since.

I must have heard this 30 times in 15 days!

@Elandra77 It was so incredibly detailed and that's so true, usually someone that young cannot articulate as well as he did. They're certain singers that you want to hear over and over again because you never grow tired of that voice. I was just listening to Boogie Street with Leonard Cohen, my God his voice was like sensual velvet washing over your skin.
